MONERO 😏

Dark Wisp is on my to try list.

🐐

Feather on desktop is good.

Shit ass bot wasting everyone’s relay disk space.

This was a very good episode, thanks Carl and crew. I think it was nice listening to a dev involved in both Bitcoin and freedom tech more broadly.

Obscura looks interesting, and I’ll keep my eyes on it. We’ll have to see how court orders play out when Obscura is inevitably subjected to them. I don’t love the US jurisdiction, but any developed nation shares intelligence anyways. Plus there is the two hop model and good account/payment privacy which mitigates it. If they can solve the VPN reputation issue with connecting to websites that would be HUGE. I feel like the more private and secure a VPN provider is the more it’s abused and therefore the more its IPs get blocked by websites… Improved reputation plus better choice on websites to exclude would make this a no brainer recommendation for normal people who don’t want to deal with the friction (family members etc).

A suggestion for the ungovernable.network site, make it easier to full screen a video. Right now I’ve had to fiddle with either pop out players or opening in a new tab.

Cheers!

It’s a real shame. I honestly didn’t expect that response.

This cuts out payment processors, potentially the partner bank/issuer, and all of their data sharing partners.

However, like with all things there are real trade offs. Booking directly gives much better support from airlines/hotels, better chance of actually receiving services, and loyalty benefits which can make travel more enjoyable.

Trade offs all the way down, but it’s certainly a useful service.

All the replies just need to be intellectually honest if they want to justify using their credit cards to get the points/miles for flights lol.

Having a full node w/o hashpower is securing your sovereignty and privacy. I think it has real benefit, and it should be encouraged still.

It however does not give you the right to force others to act a certain way. You’ve got to put up (hashrate) or shut up. Whether it’s on bitcoin or another chain.

tldr yeah I agree lol

Another Coinos issue? Feels like it’s just not a service you can trust at this point. Custodial anyways so that’s just a risk I suppose.

Another bot!
